TORONTO, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROOH has opened its doors at 633 College Street in Toronto, offering a menu centered on sustainability, nutrition, and regionally inspired Indian flavors. The restaurant represents the second concept from the team behind Bar Goa, recognized in the 2024 Michelin Guide.

ROOH offers a distinct alternative to traditional Indian dining by combining public health principles with acceptable dining practices. The venue features a seasonally adjusted menu built around transparent sourcing and scientific cooking practices to preserve nutrients and support long-term wellness.

The kitchen team follows structured methods informed by behavioral science and nutritional research. Staff receive ingredient sourcing, food science, and guest communication training, supporting the restaurant’s broader mission to connect hospitality with public health goals.

ROOH expands on Bar Goa’s health-forward model by drawing from culinary traditions across India. The menu features seasonal vegetables, fermented ingredients, and spice blends supported by nutrition studies. The team develops dishes by drawing on regional culinary research and partnering with local ingredient suppliers.

“We apply food science alongside tradition to raise the profile of regional Indian cuisine,” says founder Dr. Jayadeep Patra. “This method offers a new take that fits today’s changing dining scene.” The restaurant’s model responds to increasing demand for meals combining rich flavor and wellness alignment. ROOH’s operational structure reflects a long-term vision to integrate evidence-based practices into modern dining experiences.

Together with its sister restaurant, Bar Goa, ROOH continues to evolve a food philosophy rooted in sustainability, science, and culturally grounded cuisine.
